7 Blunders of Nigeria Sports

This is not in any way to radicles our nation but a wake up call to do things right in the sports sector.


1 Appointing Mikel Obi as the as captain of team Nigeria to the Olympics.:

When we have the likes of Segun Toriola and others like Blessing Okagbare with more olympic experience than Mikel. The man Toriola Is Africa’s most successful table tennis player of all-time, Nigeria’s Segun Toriola will be competing in his seventh Olympics at Rio 2016, the 41-year-old having appeared at every Games since Barcelona 1992.

2. Appointing Joseph Yobo NPFL ambassador
How can you appoint a player who has never played in the Nigerian league before as its ambassador. When we have the likes of Victor Ezeji who has played 20 straight season in the NPFL., and retired

5 the President receiving a flag from FIFA president without having a Nigeria flag to exchange with him.

In football one way of exchanging greeting is the exchange of flags.

The Sports Minister or NFF president should have known this and let the president do same.
but Bubu was wondering what is this.

This one is spot on too.
Maybe he's thinking FIFA would corrupt the Nigerian flag.

Tolexander:
I believe Segun Toriola should have led Nigerian Olympic team. Considering his position in his chosen career and the record of the highest nigerian appearance in the Summer Olympics.

Appointing Mikel Obi is a blunder. What leadership experience has Mikel Obi?
After John Terry in the Chelsea squad, he is the oldest. Yet, no manager ever thinks of making him the club captain in the absence of JT.

The times he had lead the national team, no progress made.

At the moment, talking about the Commonwealth nations, Segun Toriola is the best in tennis game where there are Indians.
Blessing Okagbare is also good.

Olympic experience is very important
when you have a man who has been there seven times (plus this one) you cant ignore him for a rookie in terms of Olympics.
sorry thou this is not about EPL or football only.

Tolexander:
I don't really see a blunder in this. Joseph Yobo had shown interest in playing for one of the clubs in NPFL before the appointment.
He has travelled to play in about four top flight leagues(Belgium, France, England and Turkey) acquiring experience that can be impacted to our local players for the development.
To the outside world, our leaque will have a player of high profile and relatively known.

Tolexander:
not really a blunder.

Exchange of flags between teams or different members and associations, not between a nation and FIFA.

Nigerian flag is embedded in FIFA's flag since Nigeria is among the FIFA nations, no need to exchange our flag with him. Our President receiving the flag is a sign of alliance and affiliation.

Tolexander:
guess you didn't understand the post you quoted!

robosky02:



I understand it very well man
I agree totally with you when you said:

"I believe Segun Toriola should have led Nigerian Olympic team. Considering his position in his chosen career and the record of the highest nigerian appearance in the Summer Olympics."

that why I said its a blunder cos

"when you have a man who has been there seven times (plus this one) you cant ignore him for a rookie in terms of Olympics."
